Veterans Organizing Institute
The mission of the Veterans Organizing Institute is to support the leadership development of progressive military veterans. Our vision is to develop a network of highly diverse, former service members, with sophisticated political analysis and practical organizing skills to play an important role in reshaping the long-term American political landscape.
Veterans and Social Change – They introduce the core concept of the Veteran Mystique, which captures the symbolic role veterans carry in national narratives. We connect this concept with our analysis of group solidarity as a central force in politics and social change efforts.
Political Analysis – They break down elements of effective political narratives, and introduce practical tools that can help changemakers to engage with these elements more strategically.
Grassroots Organizing – They explore how grassroots groups and social movements can effectively “tell stories” that mobilize people, give coherence to their campaigns, pressure the powerful, and affect change.
